  • strawberrim0chi Kiwi (@strawberrim0chi) reported

    meals, call it a ******* depression meal 4. I was looking forward to Overwatch 2 but knowing I can’t get into my battle net account without my old number and multiple friends I’ve made can’t play because of phone number issues, I’d say this launch ******* failed. 5. I’m having

  • Ixneyhombre 🔴 LIVE 🔴 IxneyHombre (@Ixneyhombre) reported

    Some players who merged their PC and console accounts are seeing an “Unexpected Server Error” I have reset the que 3 times now with 30000 players waiting to try Overwatch 2- @PlayOverwatch This is not a good look

  • CHAINSAWKlD Grim 𒉭 (@CHAINSAWKlD) reported

  • Katy_mo Katy ♓🌙 (@Katy_mo) reported

    Feeling nostalgic for my World of Warcrafr Xpac release days staring at this Overwatch 2 screen. 100 players left in the queue... error.... 5000 players left in the queue... error Ahh nostalgia.

  • ChristosMitche1 Christos Mitchell (@ChristosMitche1) reported

    @BlizzardCS @seanthegamer46_ What they forget us 8 million people play overwatch. This DDoS was bound to happen

  • _Sul_Opreym_ Sul Opreym (@_Sul_Opreym_) reported

    Seriously @Blizzard_Ent youv been heavily.qdvertising overwatch 2 since last year yet you apperently didn't expect the mass influx of people!? And the ******* server issues on top of that, even waiting through the 40k people que I still can't connect because of a random error

  • HoneiiBunChii Honeii♡ (@HoneiiBunChii) reported from Memphis, Tennessee

    I have hit 0 in queue 3 times already and keep getting the error message. Lul PRAY FOR BLIZZARDS SERVERS BRO. Overwatch 2 servers fighting for their life

  • needanewnamewtf george (@needanewnamewtf) reported

    Anyone else’s ‘account merge’ not working too? #overwatch #Overwatch2

  • Delcatty16 Delkitty | Maid VTuber (@Delcatty16) reported

    Okay. So. Overwatch 2 is literally unplayable. Doesn't even have a functioning queue system. Spent the past two hours waiting in a queue only to get a connection error once it gets down to 100 players. Then back to 40k. Actual garbage.

  • Artiphite Artiphite The Bug Bitten 🐜 (@Artiphite) reported

    Bro double shield meta was so oppressive in Overwatch they had to make a whole new game to fix it 💀 #Overwatch2

  • babygdeals BabyGDeals (@babygdeals) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS Overwatch please fix the SMS protection with the phone number. You would've been better off charging $60 and not having all these issues. Thank God I have a work number I can use or $40 would've went down the drain because you guys didn't warn anyone about the phone plans

  • SassCatte 💙Mihri💜 (@SassCatte) reported

    “I shall try overwatch 2, despite the vile state of the company” Overwatch 2: the queue is not working properly and won’t let people in for about an hour “Okay, I will leave it on. I am in a game finally.” Overwatch 2: you have lost connection to the server back into the queue

  • A_M_Lexa Alexa (@A_M_Lexa) reported

    Anyone else on ps4 having trouble downloading overwatch 2? Overwatch origins downloads and then when it comes to installing an error code pops up 😭 any potential fixes? Restarting both download and console does nothing #Overwatch2

  • kjhculture mazi (@kjhculture) reported

    am i the only one having login issues with overwatch 2?

  • bencast1 Benny (@bencast1) reported

    Overwatch players: SERVER ERRORS ON LAUNCH?! I'm so upset! Apex players: You only get them on launch?!

  • jakemartin02 Jake Martin (@jakemartin02) reported

    So I think my Overwatch is broken. I have no cosmetics, Golden Guns, my career profile is wrong. The only thing I have is the Ukraine Flag player icon Wtf?

  • ReadRevengers nick (@ReadRevengers) reported

    Also now I keep getting server errors after I literally got into the game earlier because I had to ******* back out and restart since I wasn't even getting my Overwatch coins that I got for the Battle Pass

  • OfficiallyBravo Brent // Bravo 🔜 TWITCHCON (@OfficiallyBravo) reported

    I was just in OW2, looked at the battle pass, then it booted me out cause of server error and now gotta wait again in a 30k queue after having to wait in a 40k queue... THE OVERWATCH 2 EXPERIENCE

  • Sw1pz_ Sw1pz (@Sw1pz_) reported

    My overwatch 2 experience so far: Waited 30mins to get into the game, played for 10 mins, game decided to disconnect me. Nice.

  • BenJHawk Ben Hawkins (@BenJHawk) reported

    I love sitting in 30 minute queues with 30,000 people for Overwatch, just to finally hit 0 players and get an “Unexpected server error occurred”.

  • tokyosterror0 🔗AJ🔗 (@tokyosterror0) reported

    they got winston at overwatch hq rn tryna fix the damn servers 😭😭😭 #Overwatch2

  • maddiee_val maddie 🖤 (@maddiee_val) reported

    @PlayOverwatch what about game freezes? it was an issue a few years back in overwatch 1 if you played in fullscreen, now it's back with overwatch 2. i can play the game just fine, but randomly it freezes at one frame and i can do nothing except killing the process

  • ArthenExplorer Arthen (@ArthenExplorer) reported

    @JakobZ313 I mean yeah, Overwatch ended its service before TF2 did. So TF2 technically did outlive it.

  • TheSuccubunny Nogi ૮꒰ ˶• ༝ •˶꒱ა ♡ ENVtuber (@TheSuccubunny) reported

    anyways so maybe I don't overwatch 2 stream today ;-; I was in the practice range for like 10 minutes and I got kicked bc of a server error.

  • Katy_mo Katy ♓🌙 (@Katy_mo) reported

    Feeling nostalgic for my World of Warcraft Xpac release days staring at this Overwatch 2 screen. 100 players left in the queue... error.... 5000 players left in the queue... error Ahh nostalgia.

  • HeyAwstin Awstin (@HeyAwstin) reported

    Y’all getting failed to connect to server error for overwatch 2 or is it just a me issue?

  • Avion_BR Rian? (@Avion_BR) reported

    @XboxSupport @OverwatchBrasil @XboxBR HELP! There's a problem here where me and a few people can't connect to Xbox Live, and It's weird because It happened a few minutes before Overwatch servers got online (I live in Santos, where Brazilian OW servers are), I need help!

  • Fancybacon87 AJ Trepiccione (@Fancybacon87) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent This is why i only ever come to blizzard to play overwatch and even now you require a post paid number so i can legitimately not play at all unless I switch my cell service? Wtf is wrong with you blizzard do yall just like to ruin everyones hype for your games or something?

  • me0wsme0w Spooky Me0w (@me0wsme0w) reported

    Still haven't gotten into overwatch due to server errors. You would think it would atleast just leave me at the front of queue instead of forcing me to relaunch and go through the 30000+ queue again. #thanksBlizzard
